looks good
which one
both
Alright, I will take it all apart, piece by piece and put it back together.
in terms of monitors or screens from "no name" companies
if it shows the specs - is it all good?
should be
typically I tend to think "specs" aren't everything
but maybe that's a PC / Laptop approach#
anyone wanna reccomend games on sale from steam?
aka - you can buy prebuilts or laptops that are awful but are "good specs"
but for a monitor you're saying it's more simple and if it has the specs, probably not much that can go wrong
(hopefully..)
not many companies make the panels/screens
Anything made by valve
so it's all coming from big producers
probably the same companies
we need rtx remastered l4d2
just different "brands" selling?
like these could be the same displays effectively but branded or tweaked ?
just thinking of pros and cons of like going on aliexpress
and buying something like this:
they could lie about the srgb or have poorer QC so it could come with dead pixels
gotcha
is it possible to find out where panels come from in a certain monitor?
like who made the panel that's in X monitor?
if you open it up
the resident evil remake games
that one is lying about the hdr
i was gonna get resident evil 3
hmm
Don't, $10 is too much for it
https://www.ebay.com/itm/165583875098? i would dyi with a laptop screen
get the raccoon city edition which gives you either 2 & 3 or all three i can’t remember
it’s a good game wdym
yehh feels like you can get better screens like that..
only 120 usd
would a DIY laptop monitor pass through airport security?
if you dont make it look like a bomb it should
haha
The re3 remake is like 5 hours long, it's basically a dlc for re2 as its own exe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfirQC99xPc a very nice video
Laptop users generally have to just put up with having a single main screen, but thanks to upcycling we can build a DIY portable secondary screen for laptops using recycled parts to keep the cost as low as $25! It not only performs really well, but it looks incredibly unique - it's a piece of solid industrial tech this one! Once you use two scre...
20 bucks for the five hours extra content
The re2 remake $10 and is a vastly better purchase
That's double the price for an extra 5 hours of content
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrqdHVeBkp4 a newer harder to make one

Re3 remake just isn't worth buying frankly
just 3d print the enclosure and its like 100$ still
ok so buy re2 and pirate re3
got it
Not discussing it in a tech discord is a good start

this is bs youtube
Guys, should i go AMD or Nvidia GPU?
intel
I heard it runs trash on older games
they are improving with every driver update
Well I don't want to beta test their product
go amd then
cheers
My budget is around 600 USD, what AMD GPU would you recommend?
(or nvidia for that matter)
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FgxRsY/xfx-radeon-rx-6900-xt-16-gb-speedster-merc-319-black-video-card-rx-69xtatbd9 650 new https://www.ebay.com/itm/404209337362?epid=28050206584&hash 550 used
for?
adultery
Going AMD is about as good as good intel if you're worried about drivers
Recently AMD been bricking windows (again)
Yes again
The second time this year
im fine

Last time was in February
when was the first one?
But with intel you at least get faster than nvidia ray tracing
And not dogshit editing performance
I'm not going to turn on raytracing to begin with
At 250 it's either 6600XT or A750
I'm going A750 all the way
If used is in the equation at 250 I'll take 3060 12GB, 3060ti if lucky (some deals did pop up)
wait is a750 limited edition 8gb or 16
i ate too many fruit loops now my mouth hurts
rx 6650xt is the same price as the a750 
How do I use a BIOS flash button?
6650XT is basically the same as 6600XT
💀
16GB VRAM goes FAST when blender rendering
With single digit difference
Im upgrading pc to play fortnite but i have a motherboard i need to make a update on it so i can put a new cpu in
Not to mention intel actually has proper AI engine and can work with PyTorch in windows
As opposed to AMD's pain to install ROCm that only works in linux
Preference
You have no right in judging someone's game preference, just saying.
I got Ryzen 5 5600X and AMD Radeon
There is no reason to get a 1080 non ti, they're slow, and old, and power inefficient
but i need to fit it to a motherboard i've had since 2018 but I haven't turned it on before
so it needs several updates
And people who say things like you did now is probably 9
The 6600XT is as fast if not faster than 1080ti and eats like 70w less
its up to a "huge" 5-8% difference!
don't think it exists yet
6650XT i mean
upgrading from ASUS FX 8350 crosshair and r9 280
stuck on window s7
i bought 11 pro for the new one now
$228
i had a unused windows 10 pro but im ingame cant explain
Now hold up here
brb 10 minutes
He bought a FULL key.
in 2018 i got a message on my computer saying windows 7 is insecure
and that my pc doesn't meet requirements for windows 10, so i bought windows 10 pro and a new motherboard but nothing was compatible
No... He just bought a retail key...
$7 keys if I recall, are gray market keys and can only be used once.
And for 7 dollars you're probably the one scammed...
im using that motherboard and ssd to upgrade my pc in 2023
and bought a new 11 pro because
OEM keys are still at 20 bucks
I want the latest
Guy probably bought a pirated windows sold as "legit" for 7 bucks
and i also need to delete the windows 10 USB to update my BIOS
Its the only usb I have
and now theres MSI.rom on there nothi else
so i bought a windows 11 pro to go with the rest
Many mobo’s require the USB key to be formatted for fat32, and the Win 10/11 USB installer formats the drive. It’s very likely the USB drive needs to be reformatted to place the BIOS update on it.
You said he overpaid for windows (when it's a full retail key unlike the cheap OEM key you got that can only be used once) but wants him to pay a company to do a bios update 
Plug the usb on the back and go to the bios flash menu, it's pretty simple
I won't be able to go to the bios flash menu i'm pretty sure
Bro stop judging him on his game, let him do his thing, you're legit being more immature than any Fortnite player
I bought this motherboard to try and update to windows 10 for safety reasons back in 2018 but my CPU has the pins in different arrays so i couldn't fit my cpu
the cpu I want to use is a 2023 Ryzen 5600X
What motherboard do you have
MSI X370
It should work
with a samsung 970 pro in it
The pin array is the same
5600x is AM4, X370 is AM4
5 years ago 5600x doesn't exist
yeah i know but im using a FX 8350
Yeah then it's different
I know but i bought the motherboard and ssd and windows 10 back in 2018 because I literally had notifications on my PC about windows 7 being unsupported and insecure
And I thought i could fit my old stuff but my FX 8350 couldn't slot in
so I couldn't get any further than inserting the ssd
had to pack stuff away until this week
The FX and the X370 doesn't fit together because the FX is AM3
yeah
However the 5600x will fit
so when I insert the 5600X I can't go to the bios can i? it won't be supported?
You need existing cpu
I need to use msi.roim way
If you can borrow a supported cpu it would work to update it
You need a supported cpu to get in the bios in the first place
Thats really bad for me if thats true lol
I heard i could just use the button to flash
@full fossil do you know anything about that?
How I deal with the bios flash
yeah I have 2 buttons, 1 is clear cmos and 1 is bios flash
and theres also some other buttons
probably to switch it on
Nope only 1 computer and its this desktop
Read your motherboard manual
it doesn't seem to have that button it just says "Press the button to update seamlessly"
I don't have library in my country
It's probably one of those boards with self updating capability
Read the manual to see how to use it
im 3rd world
It could be as simple as plugging usb in and then pressing the button
i can try that
when i get 5600x and install it
i'm using a MSI X370 Xpower gaming titanium
At venezuela we don't really have pc parts available most are 10 years old and i don't know how to know which cpu would work
without bios update, should i just find a amd cpu released in 2018?
if button doesn't work
or should I change the motherboard
if it doesn't work
Your bios flashback should work with it
@weary nebula According to Bing Chat;
okay
but what if i can't open the bios settings
lol
google says the same thing but what if i can't open bios settings im fucked?
do you have the right stuff on the usb for the bios update
yeah
if you cant open bios settings (access is password protected or smth), most likely
I think so, btw i only have 1 computer and we don't have any public computers at all
so i deleted a windows 10 usb and formatted as fat32 with nothing but MSI.ROM
so if my cpu is unsupported i will need to buy a amd cpu from around 2018 (when the motherboard was bought) to turn my pc on?
most likely, unfortunately..
i think thats how it works
You don't boot/post the pc to use bios flashback
Bios flashback doesn't even need a cpu installed
apparently some mobos support doing that stuff without a cpu
I'm better off buying a new motherboard i think
idk exactly how it workss
if I bought X570 I won't need to update bios right?
Yeah it's called bios flashback
No
should I just do that
Do what you want I'm just giving objective info
i'm asking if theres a way to make it work on this one or not
No clue, haven't looked at your board and wont
If it's got bios flashback look at the manual to see how it works
if theres not i better buy a new one
you need to try and do the research yourself.. thats how you learn
It just says press button to update bios seamlessly
You should probably read the manual thoroughly
im just a gamer and i have autism so im hard to work with im not that good with this stuff
so i know im a pain in the ass but i did actually search for hours and i made a usb successfully
I would try and remove plastic from the cpu socket and insert the old cpu
You aren't being a pain in the ass, I am kek
You're fine
however from what i see is that the contact points under the plastic part of the socket are literally holes the same shape as the plastic on top
so even by removing the plastic cover from my cpu socket, my old cpu wouldn't fit
well if you haven't tried you wont know
sometimes youll get lucky and it will work out of the box
I don't think so because its 5 years old
maybe even more than that because as i said im from venezuela so we dont have great availablilty
so i just bought what i could at the time
It says AMD Ryzen
1000 and Athlon A6 series
im gonna put a ryzen 5600x
Get the non-x
i dont wanna save the money and risk facing problems but to me price of a new motherboard is so much money
what is not x?
5600
No x
Non-x
The one i bought is AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Damn rip
so it has to work with that
Could a saved a buck
i spend a lot of my life on my computer
i dont care
just need to upgrade now because im on windows 7 with a computer literally older than season 1
At least you can now run Windows 11
Does anyone have blue or green or yellow noctua corner rubber pieces?
I hope not
That's means they'd have bought noctua, waste of money
What’s a good comfy seat to sit down that can recline so I can also lie down
@weary nebula You should still update the BIOS regardless. Lots of AMD AGESA patches in firmware over the years. The latest past few versions leave fTPM enabled by default as it's required for Windows 11
so I should just buy a new x570 and then update bios anyway to be safe
A bed that sits up
the old motherboard is no good?
Tell them that not me idc
he did tell me
my situation rn is im using a really old pc and im buying to upgrade it but i have a old motherboard with a ssd in it that i wanted to reuse but theres some conflicts online about it
Update the BIOS regardless to latest supported on any MB you get. But yes, you'll want a MB that supports the Ryzen 5 5600 out of the box. Otherwise you might need to do a BIOS Flashback. If it doesn't support Flashback, then you will have to temporarily use a donor CPU if the chipset is old enough.
and some people say the graphics card won't work at full speed in the old motherboard
which tbh I don't care about as i'll underclock anyway
donor cpu isn't possible
?
B550 and X570 will support graphic cards at PCIe 4.0 speeds.
I don’t know of too many seats that can recline to be perpendicular to the wall. Bit I have seen beds that can sit up
i'll be using X370
It's fine, PCIe 3.0 isn't much of a hit on the card. Maybe a few percentage points in FPS, but nothing to worry about. It's nothing really
Like, 1 or 2% difference at most
and FLASHB1 button
i can just press that after assemling and it will begin update from usb?
i won't have internet from the point that i take my pc apart so im writing notes
i don't have a smartphone
and don't have other computers or anything like that
what
when you start up your pc
I don't think it will start up if the cpu is not supported
oh
I have to update bios
bruh
True FlashBack doesn't require the CPU to be installed
when I got my motherboard it was already updated
Ok so i can install everything and then i can press FLASHB1
and it will update bios and work with 5600X?
yes and yoou dont need cpu to be installed to run the update
That's the idea. What is the make and model of MB?
guys I won't be able to google stuff from the point that i take the computer apart, i don't have a smartphone and no one that i know has smartphone with internet
I got lucky too when I got my b550 since microcenter still had a lot of old stock with 3000 support oob
MSI X370 Gaming titanium Xpower
I tried 5 years ago and i know that my old cpu won't fit
and I checked the socket I thought about removing the plastic
because i might be able to get the old cpu in i thought
but it seems as if theres contacts under the plastic bracket that holds the cpu, and those line up with the holes in the socket plastic
so u can't just remove that and insert a cpu that doesn't normally fit just to have it work long enough to update bios
If the CPU isn't the right socket type (AM4), it's not going to fit. lol
If you remove the plastic on the socket you might as well toss the board entirely
yea looks like it
i'm using am3+
to be exact
which is old and probably supported because its from before 2018 but it won't fit
So the latest BIOS rev 7A31v1O4(Beta version) is compatible with a Ryzen 5 5600
You need the latest per their website
so i'll have 1 with windows 11 pro and 1 with msi bios
i do have the latest
its hard because i dont have 2 computers
Anyone know if the pillow thing is still going on?
yeah i have 2019 one
The latest is dated 2022-07-15
yeah i googled the version
and people say the ssd stops working after installation
only sata m.2 will come and i'm not sure what that is but I have a ssd in my motherboard
Could be because of their RAM
not a sata cable like my old one right now is using, i'll be using the ssd in the motherboard
samsung 970 pro
yea thats great, even my friend too. I was actually so worried
So here's the issue you're in. If your CPU won't work (because it's missing microcode in the 2019 BIOS), you will have no choice but to upgrade it to the latest beta
I think if thats what it is i'm just going to buy the newer version of this motherboard
dont know what im gonna do with the old one tho
its never even used maybe i can be lucky to sell it
i dont want to run beta stuff
So buy a B550 board. X570 does offer additional M.2 slots in PCIe 4.0 speeds, but with a B550, you'll at least have a GPU and one M.2 drive in PCIe 4.0 speeds. Also, it's quite as the X570 requires a chipset fan (and those break and are noisy )
i'm just going to get the newer version of this one
I recommend ASROCK if you can find one
nah
i'll just get the new version of this one, the black one
its hard to find stuff here in venezuela and i already paid $130 for the other shipment of the cpu and gpu and stuff from usa
actually $160
i dont wanna pay that again
Well, you can always sell the old MB if it's working
Oh, you bought it used?
no
I was freaking out too but bios flashback was there. Not the first time I did it but I wouldn't rely on it constantly
I bought it brand new in 2018 to try and install windows 10
So, it's new-old stock?
when I found out FX 8350 wouldn't work
Ahh ok
i had to put my computer back together with my old stuff and put the motherboard and samsung ssd back in the box for 5 years
im gonna buy the new version of this one which is MSI MEG X570 Godlike
but you wouldn't want me to tell you the price of that one, so i'm going to get the MSI MEG X570 ACE
Godlike is in the price too
which isn't as good for overclocking and only has 4 sata ports on the side but i don't wanna use any sata ports at all, just the samsung ssd
and im not going to overclock anything
yea man its scary
so i dont need the godlike
Yeah, it's overkill unless you're into competitive OCing
im from 3rd world
and we cant upgrade every 2 years or buy expensive stuff just for fun
so i buy mid range but high quality
Ryzen 5 5600X
from AMD FX 8350
and i also got 32 gb ram to go with the 5600X
My father still runs a Phenom II x4 with Windows 10. It's old
isnt that am3
Runs ECC RAM though. Never BSODed
Mine is newer than your fathers but i can't update to windows 10 XD
i'm stuck on windows 7
home premium
my gpu and motherboard don't support newer
Rock-solid. Already been through a PSU, CMOS battery, and a drive. That's about it. Oh, and had a GPU upgrade because needed compatibility with a CAD program
But it's slow. Needs to upgrade
this upgrade im doing should last like 5-6 years for me
or more hopefully
got a new Radeon gpu
RX 6650xt
15 years on a PC, lol. Damn. Forgot that Phenom II was released in 2008
oooo same
upgraded psu, swapped cmos and swapped hdd to ssd and a new gpu uwu
Yeah, PSUs die, and CMOS battery good for about 8 years at best
cant wait
im gonna get new board tho im not gonna waste time making a tutorial on paper how to update when it seems like its not sure i can update it
and i don't get new features if i use a old motherboard
and if i upgrade every 7 years i dont need to save money its just stupid within reason
forgot gpu on the new one but i added it now
Don't try and upgrade your existing drive to 11. Fresh install only
im not using the existing drive
Cool
im gonna use that samsung drive i never used
it should be empty
i should be good to run like 7 years with this setup i think
Yeah, easily
until windows 13?
12, actually
Not sure if that's the official name of it, but it's in the works.
so i'll have gone from windows 7 > windows 11 > windows 13
unless my pc will support windows 12
i probably wont
12 might be a limitation on CPU type. Security features really. But Windows 11 will be supported for a long time now
also my current monitor
ViewSonic VA708A 17.0" 1280 x 1024 60 Hz Monitor
new one: Asus VG248QG 24.0" 1920 x 1080 165 Hz Monitor
so i'll get full HD and 165 and 24 inch
i thought why not do that
because my old monitor wouldnt even plug into a new graphics card xd
new graphics card doesn't have blue or white ports
just hdmis
its vga on the monitor end and dvi on the gpu end
So your two competing standards is HDMI and DP (Display Port)
Can't go wrong with either frankly
yea hdmi 2.0 supports full 165 i saw
Yeah, go with DP if the cable is included.
i might still need a bios update
if my motherboard is from 2019 ?
the new one is released in 2019
the one i'll buy
the cpu released in 2020 but it might be close enough that it works
is the pillow deal still going on on LTTStore
i should probably still prepare MSI.ROM with the newest bios on the new motherboard on a usb just incase XD
Always check the MB CPU compatibility
You could like
Look at lttstore
cause like I did
And did you see anything mentioning a pillow deal?
so when i take this apart i wont be online anymore
No pillow talk
and no one i know has internet on their smartphone
because our banks doesn't let us recharge our phones
we can't take the money even when we have it and we can't pay in other currencies at the telecoms
venezuela
Close enough
Yeah, it's bad there. I know people that left Venezuela.
i could buy a ticket but where can i even go
i will just end up back here
that requires me to have a job there
to stay, and usa is really hard to get visa
venezuela passport is really weak
It's Communism yo. Can check it, but can never check out
im 23
Like a roach motel
yeah basically
and we can't use our money when we have it, because the bank doesn't always have the money
no and it will be a tempory work visa then
trust me itts not easy leave this situation
i can't just do that
i will just end up back here
Yeah, it's like Cuba or East Germany before the wall fell
venezuelan passport is the weakest, i cant even go to vacation in the usa
or europe
how do you expect me to even enter
Asylum, maybe
south america
no its not possible trust me
That's not happening
U guys clearly don't have venezuelan passports
At best, he can make a run for Columbia
yeah colombia but even there they have the law where you need to have a job to stay there
and you have to apply for work visa and have it signed
and its so hard trust me i have considered it so many times
not when you don't speak korean
Argentina isn't much better.
trust me it kinda is
just because of the economic situation
Nothing is worse than N. Korea.
asian countries dont have europeans and people from south america
how would I even go there lol
🤦♂️
South America is corrupt, just about all of it
Some places better than others. But it's the devil that you know. So people there no how to deal with it
Yeah 100% inflation
for u
not for anyone with venezuelan passport
no
its not true anymore
nah i know it
I have to have a job for work visa
i see ur screenshot
Anyways, good luck on the build. People will help you out if needed. Just be sure to keep the BIOS flash files available in case you need that Beta
but apply for temp visa is going to get declined nowadays
I've got to go for now. It's late
yea thanks but problem is im making a guide on paper since as i said i wont be online when i do that
so i can remember steps
why would I want to be illegal?
Oh, and RTFM. Always 🙂
i'll get the new motherboard so i have less of a headache
Download the manual (PDF format)
and keep a new bios of it at hand
Can always open the PDF with a phone
yeah i'll see if i can put a pdf manual on my phone
i have autism and its hard for me to learn new things sometimes
and im not sure if language is changed if i can learn it fast enough and stuff
i know argentina its not different language
but it would be really hard in most countries for me to learn new
no when i was born it wasn't this bad
trust me
it wasn't like this when i was born
Put a sock in it.
I'm out before the trolling starts. ✌️
lol
good night dude thanks for the help
Hi yes does any of the lmg staff actually use this lol
Is razer basilisk x hyperspeed good for claw grip?
Was thinking between it and logitech shroud mouse
I got somewhat big hands
My hands are bigger than the average wang, and I feel that the deathadder/g502 is just nice
OptimumTech recently posted a review for the modded razer viper v3, it's about 28g and he says it's amazing
man i need to get a newer cpu
Are you running an i7-2600?
Ah, you want to fulfill placebo
so games like beamng would bottleneck
the other thing
if you go into #gaming
I use a ton of vram
14GB
I have an old g502 but wanna change it and get a wireless mouse
If it's not cpu intensive like skyline, you might be better off buying
- faster ram
- more ram
- directstorage compatible ssd
- better gpu
- nvidia reflex monitors (if you're competitive)
Alternatively, if you don't need any of those, you can buy this
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/933705073505222666/1075462586541289503/IMG_0890.jpg
ill throw that at you
G502 is pretty good with the powerplay
money not included
Money included
Is it heavy or normal weight
its worse than city skyline
I didn't put any weight inside it, so about 90g?
Ehh, I've got a 5600x and 6800xt. Cp2077 runs fine
You probably need to tune your secondary and tertiary timings
does anyone know if canva images qualify as fair use? or does anyone know how to cite canva images in apa format?
cyberpunk 2077 isnt part fo the question
im talking beamng
im missing 3k in my 3dmark timespy score
also this makes things unstable, not worth
for like 5%-7% perf
13600k
want to change cpu
don't want high end
What
wut
I didnt say I dont want high end
its just amd high end is as fast as intel lowest end in physics
im gonna really throw that thing at you

and now 3dmark site doesnt work 😔 \
says their cert expired
@wispy marsh can you try 3dmark website
unlike GPU, CPUs are standardized and both uses the same instruction sets meaning they will do the same task at the same speed granted that they're equivalent CPU
meaning there is no "AMD is worse in physics"
ofc but
you check benchmarks
and you get an idea
what cpu are you even comparing
or use real scenarios
Userbenchmark is a really good site if you use intel. The benchmark tools are tuned specifically towards intel processors
||/j||
i5-13600KF to something high end
eg i9-13900KF
no what AMD cpu
OH BOI xD
you can't say AMD is worse in physics without any source
7600X - 7950X
and where is the source
Mate comparing a 350w processor with a 280w processor
I cant go to 3dmark rn :\
Lock the 13900K to 280w, I dare you
also 13600K is more closer to a 7700X
the x600 of AMD is closer to X400 of intel
like 5600 = 12400
3dmark is down
you can go in
you using wrong tests tho
we're not testing pov-ray
try click advancved
looks like im talking to the wrong people 🙂
feeling is mutual
looks like 3dmark's cert expired
you're comparing the 7600x to a 13600
yea
rip
even 7700x isnt that close to 13600kf
price to price is off
so not even worth talking
if your comparison is price to price sure
i think you pinged wrong person
no i didnt
what have i got to do with that
im pinging you since im not interested in talking to fiona
ahuh
and I was planning to get a newer cpu
immaturity at its finest
it's fine if you like an echo chamber
i'm not gonna bother you anymore
well im asking about cpu
you're not even helping then you get worked up about small details
but its okay 🙂
oh really
wow im talking to someone who has a 2200g and a 1050 ti
i got a 3060 actually
yea 3060 isnt any better than 3060 ti
okay and your point is?
i use it for machine learning, i need the extra 4GB of VRAM
wonder whats your score in 3dmark
soi what you have the 8gb version?
it's a huge difference
the 3060 has 4GB more VRAM than 3060ti
vram storage ≠ faster :|
you're dense as hell
can't expect much from someone who probably only game
i literally said i use it for ML which require VRAM
i dont expect someone who cant even talk properly about cpus too

i got something else on
i don't expect you to do the same
i got better things to buy sweetie
okay? so?
i might just hand over that cpu to my sibling
wouldn't even work on a 3060ti and will just give CUDA OUT OF MEMORY error
really what is your point?
uh oh someone angy
the 3060 is the only GPU with 12GB of VRAM that isn't hyper expensive

@unkempt widget hey
uh oh
omg poor people
i don't think he is agreeing with you
green dude is hating on poor people, come on.
don't even got embed access
mmm
i meann if they talk sensically right
it's always one of these bob
I have SO many outstanding unfinished coding projects
if you needed more vram why stay on nvidia
but... so many shiny NEW things to work on 😄
because AMD doesn't even work with them in the first place despite having VRAM on their higher end model
... 6600xt 8gb first, THEN 3060 12GB
and while you are absolutely correct in the general case - you're absolutely not in her SPECIFIC case.
sorry I havent used amd
that app i use prefers cuda
I haven't used everything, doesn't mean I don't know about it
but I do have a 6600XT here as an egpu
why egpu tho
AMD doesn't work with CUDA and ROCm isn't available in windows.
meaning i need to use DirectML which is significantly (understatement) slower
for my laptop.
for more performance? it's quite straightforward
more cost 😮
laptop with thunderbolt
you're still limited to the usb or connector unless its pcie
my laptop has thunderbolt. it just plugs in.
is that usb or pcie
I see you know nothing about modern interconnects
USB4 can transport PCIe
see your kind is rude
is your laptop PCIe 4? because i assume bandwidth will be absolute shit on 3 x4
thunderbolt 4 is PCIe3 though 😦
oof
how much performance loss?
ehhhh, depends on a lot of things, but in most cases it's 10-20%
because even 6500xt experience double digit loses on 3.0 x4
yea OOF
the 6500XT is a giant heap of garbage
it is
it's literally as useful as a console
it can't do anything BUT game
and at the same time do shit at gaming
my egpu box was $75 used. It has 100W charging and a 400W flexATX PSU.
dont get why you ppl buy egpu
I shoved a 6600XT in it, and 99% of the time I'm using it, it's accelerating chrome.
yes it is
funny people with funny things to buy
here i explain in ooga booga term
in laptop > bad GPU
add eGPU > more performance
you understand now?
just get a desktop
I have a desktop
get a bigger desktop
of course you dont silly you
yea with that tumor egpu
This is without the egpu, but that's my portable setup
yea... very portable
I will give it away in a raffle: tickets are $5000
lol I used an igpu on my xps 15 that I borrowed from a friend to play FS2020 at school
last time I will do that but it was quite fun to say the least
it all fits in the small backpack and is less than 5kg.
have you tried remote desktop or is it to shit in your area @manic torrent
carry rice with it
the EGPU has its own bag, and is something like 2kg itself, but I don't need it for most work
i considered eGPU before but minshel called me doo doo and recommended RDP instead
i gotta say i am hooked
no, my laptop has all the work stuff on it.
it is doo
remote desktop is quite fast actually
deserved it
should be getting desktop
or like... server administration 😄
i can't notice the difference.
i only do 1080p60 which is more than enough for me
but better than eGPU
i keep portability and battery
and still get decent gaming
i even played OSU using remote desktop
it's low enough latency that it's better than the latency between my pc and my wireless earphone
I use RDP too but only for home use when I wanna get into my remote system.
any really, that's the magic of PCIe
the All Noctua Gaming PC is actually one of the coolest pc ever (pun intended)
My desktop is a 5700x and a 3080ti.
my biggest enemy however is packet loss
love it
it's good enough
let me know when you're building a literal crane for your PC.
use parsec low latency desktop
i got below 20ms encode-decode-network latency on Wi-FI
I don't remote game, just using it to render out video
how do you see previous @ mentions on discord mobile
search mentions: [yourname]
i remote game all the time it's pretty good
It sits idle 90% of the time albeit overkill for something to be idle 24/7
thank you
man... if only miners invested ALL that power into folding@home
we probably solved cancer by now

here's a picture of me, it's a bit older.
folding gang I see?
people have a literal lot of GPUs
eGPU is nice
haha, no, wall mount >>
this is what miners have (source: facebook)
Throwing one into the setup would be nice is what I'm saying
a literal FIELD OF GPU
egpu here
and that PS3 can't do half the things your laptop can
only limited to obsolete games from a bygone era
really PS3 is weaker than you think
egpu on TV 🙂
Anyone else been using their LTT screwdriver for not working on a PC?
PC port of a Ps3 games are often much more demanding as they don't have features stripped
G102, only 15 (on my place at least)
modified aorus 1070 gaming box with a powercolor 6600XT
floatplane struggling for anyone else rn?
link fp with discord
but... yes.
motherfuckers here selling them at 400-1000 USD 
You can get a eGPU in India. It's not hard.
with a card, I assume. I bought mine with no card
i gotta say they got persistence because none of them sold even 1
Did your setup change?
a 1080 non ti 
constantly.
Okay? That's a money issue. Not availability.
It's an availability issue
Availability of work
product accessibility includes monetary issues
and difficulty of getting a product falls under product accessibility
Availability tho
expensive
I mean, if you're serious, I'll grab my phone and take my socks off. Unless you want them on? 👉 👈
not necessarily. I have a lot of projects on the go at any one time
what
Phytagore is easy
wat kind of projects r u doing
was needing a spectator opinion but no longer need it
i do 3d rendering
PC crane, monitor lift, AV control through linux/pipewire/obs, remote control rescue boat/technology demonstrator with robot arm, esphome controlled KVM integrated with homeassistant
I should probably sign up for that at some point
Crane 🥰
does your stuff use FOSS Code or self written
For a cent I'll fart in Pythagoras's cake
Yeah, I'm bringing Cake Farts back. Find me on OF.
both
python?
sometimes
how long did it took you to learn python
I couldn't tell you. I've been coding for literally 25+ years
oh damn yeah you are seasoned
I've written in a jillion languages
i'm considering to learn python (because fuck JS [no i love you sometimes]) so i can do my own AI projects
https://github.com/fondberg/spotcast/pull/387 I just made this pull request for spotcast, because it was super broken.
This PR changes podcasts to work as any user would expect - it plays the podcast (not an episode - which is what it was doing), and it plays it from the first episode that hasn't been fully pla...
on the bright side, now I know how the spotify api works (i.e. badly)
easy on the shitpost
a lot of new things
because you are reaching dangerous area with the word bomb
if discord wasn't broken, I'd tag the mods.
A dude was literally just arrested for this, like today I think.
<@&750150305383186585>
He thought adding "In Minecraft." made him clever and avoid culpability. It didn't.
you're so edgy.
Then go sleep
this is going to shock you, but there are more places in the world than where you are.
funny thing, at least for me, its not 2am its 4pm
I think you'll find it's 4:20, blaze it.
omg amazing
Oh shit fuck, lemme grab my pen
how to how to win friends and influence people: by NotJon
@manic torrent You're old enough to remember the warning signs on forums, my guy
"Don't feed the trolls."
Hello folks, I have a bit of a situation I'm trying to figure out.
If you had the opportunity to work on a massive AAA game, which would last for months - years, but you were only getting say 20-25 hours of work a week, OR you found a remote full time job doing saying CSR work, would you take the game op or would you go for the stable income?
The only difference is one is say 20 hours more a week
I mean you can just do freelance in the meantime
you could try asking bing chat, however i cant guarentee it will give accurate results
Lacking a lot of info and context: Is the 20-hour job enough money for you? Is your career more focused on game dev?
mmmm it depends. I would probably take the game job if I was able to pick up other work on the side - particularly if that was my dream
become teardown dev
Assuming you're an audio engineer who wants to be an audio engineer, not a CSR 🙂
video game devs are typically paid awfully for their hours
This is a sound gig
so unless ur passionate about this game and think it would maybe further ur career dont do it
@slate grail The question you should be leading yourself with first is, which one is gonna pay your bills better?
Write that down write that down
I disagree you shouldn't primarily focus on money.
Experience holds a lot of value
That's the thing; after all is said and done, the game stuff leads to more in the future
Because I've been working on this for a couple months now
Given the duration, money is probably more important here
I assume you read https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce 🙂
I love money ngl
But I'm getting to that point, where I need a "job" job
yes, but you work for money.
Ngl if my dream job dont give me a lot of money id do another job
ugh. fuck that
But I'm learning a lot about game audio and such. Here's the real issue; I live in Linus land and I have a wife and kid.
do what you love. I would stab someone if I worked CSR
if you enjoy the job it isnt really a job, its a hobby you get paid for.
@slate grail Given the duration of this, total the money difference between the game dev and CSR role. Which one can you remain financially stable with for 2-3 years? If game dev will support you well enough during that time, fuck it, why not? If it won't, either consider a second 20-hour job, or go with CSR.
your wife is the one you need to be talking to
No i like money
I have, we're doing okay with the money I've earned so far
Whats csr
Customer Service
Customer Service Rep
Id take the job to further the career and do some freelance tbh
Basically, I need a remote job
@slate grail Honestly, given your circumstances, I'd suggest the CSR role. Unless you can really survive on that game dev gig.
And that's the thing; look at what studios are out here
@broken crown AAA publisher
No, I legit worked at Shopify
I want to be a teacher, Problem :i have to work a fucking ton, study for 10 years in France, and get paid the minimum wage
do what you love, because then when you tell your son to do what he loves, you will be speaking from experience.
Daughter lol
given its a remote job you could feasibly take a full time job and that 20 hour a week job.
haha, same/same
@slate grail AAA means nothing. Most pay shit and work their people to death. Don't let "AAA" deceive you.
@lilac sage not if I'm working 7-1 or 4
Eh, it's a long project. Then I have video editing and sound design work
In Feb I made 5k
do it
seriously you will regret it if you don't
particularly as nobody WANTS to do CSR
given you work 5 hours a weekday i can easily see you taking a 2nd job. remote work is cool like that.
This is the biggest issue; the hours for this basically overlap with regular business hours
@slate grail If you can remain financially stable doing the AAA game gig, then go for it.
yeah so you have time to do freelance shit
What should i do? Pursue my dream and get paid nothing or do financial school?
Stable sure, getting ahead? No.
I can't be in recording sessions and such if I'm working a CSR job remotely
You're not gonna get ahead in CSR, I'll tell you that much.
make a plan. schedule some time, get other clients
But it's stable, probably.
yeah it's not something with a future
That's basically 6 hours of constant work
I don't make OT
Since I'm a freelance contractor
I have worked in my chosen field since I was 19
If the AAA thing is financially ok for you, then I think you've got your answer: just do it.
I think Linus' house is worth 3 million
Just based on the features and such
3mil CAD
nobody can afford a house
Considering that's his monthly take-home, I'm surprised it's only $3 million
Why did my Windows Defender flag Nvidia as a virus this morning? lol
My house is worth 1.3million
I went to update and it stated it was a trojan. lol
They won't hire me lol
At least not for video editing
I brought this up before, I don't feel my skills are on the level needed for their workflow
Did you apply?
No, I looked into it
I don't even have a proper showcase reel yet
Just a bunch of YT videos and some client stuff
I mean, they hired Aprime, have you seen his edits? (jk ilu Alex)
Coincidentally, I live maybe 15-20 mins from LMG
Why not apply? The worst they can say is no, so..
Also, dude, you're in Vancouver. It's like Hollywood #2.
Langley is closer to me than Van
I applied; rejected XD
Well, keep applying?
You'll never get there if you don't apply ;)
Been watching since the BF3 days
wait ur looking remote yet you live near a giant metropolitan area?
I did the same in Berlin
I have a wife, infant daughter and dog
Even if you live in a metro, sometimes it's nicer to not deal with commuting
My wife needs me at home
I do admit I miss the socialization in an office, but I far more prefer working from home
The only reason I'm not hired full time by this company; I'm the only Canuck
